Carnaval del Barrio
Jorge Mujica
Occupy el Barrio is hosting a Carnaval (parade) for April 7th. The morning parade of April 7th is our chance to celebrate our own cultures while the afternoon festival celebrates that the people of Chicago, from all the neighborhoods and communities are united and form an undetainable force.
Throughout the parade we are going to make targeted stops at Benito Juarez, Kramer smelter, the Rudy Lozano library, RadioArte, and BofA to draw attention to the privatization of public services and those responsible for injuring, criminalizing and profiting off of our communities.
Our last stop, to take place around 1pm, will be at the MCC downtown and we would love as many people, hoods and barrios as possible to to join us there because we know there is nothing more terrifying for them than all of us coming together.
Just bring your signs, banners, shirts, drums and, most of all, people this Sat. at 11am to show the City that we stand united in this fight.
We invite all to become part of the parade on April 7th without needing to join or form a group. It is a parade of el barrio and all are welcome.

Proyecto Siete de Abril:
Carnaval del Barrio
¿Que es?
Un desfile primaveral que refleja nuestros derechos y nuestras luchas, nuestra creatividad y nuestros sueños. Habrá danzantes, artistas de rap, de rock, mimos, payasos, mariposas, arte, teatro y comida. Estamos abiertos para incluir grupos interesados e invitamos a todos que salgan a formar parte del desfile el 7 de Abril.
¿Dónde
y Cúando?
Pilsen,
Sábado, April 7th, 11am-1pm.
Nos reuniaremos a las 11am en
Benito Juarez Park, 2150 S. Laflin Ave., el desfile se dirigirá
hacia la calle 18 y habrá un concierto de música en Plaza
Tenochtitlan a las 12.
¿Por que Abril 7?
Este día se ha designado Primavera Chicago en honor a la Primavera Arabe, la cual el año pasado inspiró movimientos de libertad en el Medio Este y el mundo. Desde Madison a Grecia, a Chile y al Movimiento Ocupar en los EEUU, la gente se ha estado uniendo para luchar por nuestro derecho de la vida digna, un gobierno que verdaderamente responde a la gente y por justicia económica ante la avaricia del 1%.
A las dos de la tarde, habrá un festival de música y talleres, un proyecto de arte y la oportunidad para reunir todas las comunidades de Chicago por una celebración de arte y solidaridad a lo largo de la ciudad. La mañana de Abril 7 es nuestra oportunidad de celebrar nuestras culturas que unidas forman una fuerza indetenible.
¿Como puedes participar?
Hay varias maneras:
uno- llegar en la mañana de Abril 7 y formar parte del desfile.
dos- formar parte de uno de los conjuntos ya planeados (mimos, mariposas, payasos, grupos de teatro)
tres- organizar tu propio conjunto que se relaciona con la idea del Carnaval
cuatro- construir una carroza, un 'float,' que se relacioné con la idea del Carnaval
cinco- ayudar con organizar el Carnaval del Barrio: atienda las juntas cada martes, 6:30pm, Plaza Tenochtitlan (18 y Blue Island). Soleado o lloviendo, estaremos allí.
seis- apoyar el Carnaval del Barrio con comida, materiales de arte, su firma, agua, etc.
Invitamos a todos a formar parte del desfile el 7 de Abril, sin tener que formar parte de ningún conjunto. Es un desfile del barrio y todos son bienvenidos.

April Seventh Project:
Carnaval del Barrio
What

A spring parade that reflects our rights and our fights, our

festival in Plaza Tenochtitlan at noon.
Why
April 7th?
This
day has been named Chicago Spring in honor of the Arab Spring, which
last year inspired freedom movements in the Middle East and across
the world. From Madison, to Greece, to Chile and to the Occupy
Movement in the US, people have been coming
together to fight for our right of a dignified life, a government that truly responds to the people and economic justice in wake of the limitless greed of the 1%.
Carnaval
of el Barrio will take place in the morning here in Pilsen followed
by a spring music and workshop festival downtown at 2pm where we will
then gather and unite with all the communities of Chicago for a
celebration of arts and city wide solidarity.
The morning parade of
April 7th is our chance to celebrate our own cultures whilst the
afternoon festival celebrates that the people of Chicago, from all
the neighborhoods and communities are united and form an undetainable
force.
